I enjoyed his work. They won't be able to replace him. Not like you can just collect resumes and find someone who does what he did.

So I wonder what they will do in the game presentation. Tuesday I was in Kennewick for Game 4 of Calgary v Tri-City [tip: if you're driving down the Gorge at midnight and you're hungry, don't skip by Biggs Junction expecting to find something at The Dalles, or Hood River, or even Troutdale.] What they do, essentially, is have the PA guy do what Jerry does. He actually yells, "Wave your towels!" or "Let's make some noise!" Even with the change we had this season, that's quite jarring, and very unpleasant. I hope the organization does not go in that direction. Especially with the guy they have there now.

My memory is walking down the concourse of the Coliseum prior to a game the season before last, where the prospects for the game weren't good and it felt like I was there just to keep from wasting my season ticket, and having Jerry walk by, uncharacteristically with no one around him, and he was still bouncing around and grinning to himself like it was the most enjoyable thing in the world. Bleeding positive.
